The annual Anthurium Festival in Mizoram is set to resume, featuring guided treks, cave explorations and showcases of traditional Mizo heritage.
The state tourism department announced that the Mizoram Anthurium Festival will be held again this year, aiming to attract nature lovers and cultural enthusiasts. Organisers have added trekking routes through the state's hilly terrain and guided tours of its limestone caves to the programme, alongside the usual flower displays.
The festival, traditionally timed with the blooming season of the anthurium, will also host exhibitions of Mizo handicrafts, folk music and dance performances, providing a platform for local artisans. Visitors can expect interactive sessions that highlight the region's biodiversity and the community's efforts to preserve its natural and cultural assets.
Authorities expect the event to boost tourism in the northeastern state, generating income for local businesses and promoting Mizoram as a destination for eco‑friendly travel. The schedule and ticket details will be released on the official tourism website in the coming weeks.
